Imma tell you sumthin’.
I used to think I was too good to be this, but I think I am nosy. Hear me out.
I just got sucked into this Facebook News Feed reading and photo stalking. And because of that, I forgot all about feeding the baby on time and giving my older daughter a bath. SO wrong! I know!
BUT, I found out that our HOT high school quarterback lost all his hair! AND, another former hotty looks like he’s very well “fed”! HA!
This was so much fun – I need to FB photo-stalk more often!!
At least I didn’t play Candy Crush for 4+ hours. I will not go down that road! Please don’t make me…
Now that I have fed, bathed, and put the girls to bed, we can talk. Just you and me. And we’re going to talk about this beautiful Cookies and Cream Flourless Chocolate Cake!
For my husband, this cake is the cake. He is a chocoholic and if he could, he would marry said cake.
Last week was his birthday, so I had to make it for him. Again.
I sure do know how to make him happy. All it takes is chocolate and cake.
I think I probably make this cake about every other month for him. I thought it was time to share it with you because, unlike the flourless chocolate cake topped with powdered sugar and/or raspberries, my cake is filled and topped with cookies! And it is so, so good – crunchy, silky, and very chocolaty. And fancy!
Now is a good time for me to look you in the eyes and tell you the same thing that I tell you every time; make this cake! You will kiss yourself for doing it! Come back and thank me. 🙂
ENJOY!

This.looks.ridiculous. Alas alack, I would have to omit the cookies in favor of almond flour…any idea of how much would be a good idea?
Ummm…there’s flour in Oreos so this isn’t flourless….
unless maybe you use trader joes gluten free “joe joes”
I thought flourless chocolate cake was decadent enough, and you topped this with cookies added! Very very rich indeed!
This cake looks so good. I have to try this recipe.
What a wonderful treat! Looks amazing!
